The best summer fragrances to uplift you right now

There's a lot of things that remind us all of a long, fun summer: sun kissed skin, ice cold cocktails and of course, an empty wallet. But one thing that can really jog memories of your holiday and transport you straight back to the sea? A good summer fragrance.

Whether you always stick to your favourite scent or like to dabble and try something new, there is no doubt that this year, some really fresh and unique perfumes have landed, including some classics which have had a little revamp.

Time to put away your spicy, woody ouds, and start spritzing some of these fresh, mood-boosting scents.

From new takes on rose, to zesty bergamot and mandarin, you'll soon feel like you're sipping on a juicy cocktail, seaside.

We might not be going on our traditional summer holiday this year, but we can certainly smell tropical. And given that we won't be having our usual duty-sree spree, now seems as good a time as any to invest in a new scent.

Like the beauty equivalent of summer's swallows, we look forward to the arrival of Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent every year, and this year, a new EDP version has launched, too - bonus.It's practically tradition.
